This family activity holiday is based in the Turkish Mediterranean harbour town of Kas. Our contribution to the local community and economy, as well as our efforts to minimise the environmental impact of tourism in Kas and its surrounding area, takes many forms.

We work only with hotels which are either locally owned or employ members of the local community as key members of staff. Picnic supplies are purchased either from local suppliers or direct from local villagers themselves and lunches on activity days are taken at the homes of local villagers when possible who convert their patios into cafes.

When visiting villages we endeavour to arrive by foot and encourage interaction between our groups and the local community to allow each to develop cultural understanding. When motorised transport or transfers are required we use local drivers, often in owner operated vehicles, which brings work to people who may otherwise be under-employed in the community.

For activities motorised transport is kept to a minimum and the activities themselves use equipment which does not impact on the environment e.g. kayaks, rafts and cycles. We actively encourage the purchase of all activity equipment locally where possible provided it complies rigorously with expected standards of quality and safety.

Production and disposal of plastic waste is also reduced by dispensing drinking water from re-usable large volume containers.

Monday: Flights, arrival and introduction
We will be met at Dalaman Airport for the transfer to our accommodation in Kas where we meet our guides.

Tuesday: Lazy boat day
Our lazy boat day is the ideal way to unwind. We board the boat at Kas and spend the day exploring islands and bays with swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, relaxation and lunch thrown in for good measure. In the evening there will be a welcome dinner in a seafront restaurant.

Wednesday: Sea kayaking
The trendiest mode of transport in the Mediterranean - sea kayaks help us to reach one of Turkey's most famous sites, the sunken city of Kekova. We also stop for lunch in the village of Simena which is inaccessible by road and boasts a medieval hilltop castle.

Thursday: Picnic hike
Our trek starts in the mountains behind Kas and follows the paths and forest tracks of Mount Akdag. After a picnic lunch we cross a highland pasture which offers wonderful views all the way to the coast before rejoining our vehicle.

Friday: Free day
Today is free for you to try additional activities such as scuba diving, horse riding or paragliding (payable locally). Alternatively you can just relax by the sea - the choice is yours.

Saturday: Mountain biking
A full day of guided cycling with our support vehicle always close behind. Great views, exhilarating descents, and a variety of tracks which pass through cool forests and wide open meadows make this an excellent day.

Sunday: Saklikent Gorge walk and tubing
A rushing river and towering cliffs characterise this stunning 16km long gorge. After exploring on foot we jump on our tubes to spin and twist downstream steering through the shallow meandering waters of the Karacay River. We also stop for a therapeutic (honest) mud bath/fight! There will be a farewell dinner in the evening.

Monday: Depart or extend your stay
Today you will be transferred back to Dalaman or you can take advantage of our week long extension.

Kas remains an oasis of activity, culture and relaxation set away from the large resorts.  It was a natural choice as a base for our activity holiday, it offers the perfect balance between activity, culture and leisure - oh and the weather is pretty good too.

Turkey's spectacular Mediterranean Coast with its turquoise seas and azure blue skies has become an adventure sports hotspot.  We explore both the coast and the mountains during our hugely popular activity holiday whilst experiencing the more traditional side of Turkish culture, which has been lost in so many coastal areas.

Cosmopolitan Kas (pronounced 'cash') is a lovely Turkish town which has escaped the mass tourism development further along the coast. With stunning views, a wide selection of bars and restaurants (famous for vegetarian cuisine) and numerous boutiques and bazaars selling everything from clothes to Turkish delight, you will find plenty to do during your stay.

Families with children over the age of 8 years (please note that this does not preclude younger children but participation in the activities will be at the discretion of our instructors).
